December 26, 1919
BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT, Dec. 26, 1919
* Babe Ruth to retire ?
* Demands high salary
Page 4 has an article headed: "Ruth Says He Will Retire" " 'Through With Major League Baseball' Unless Red Sox Agree to Pay Him $20,000 for Season of 1920---Not to Become a Boxer".
Great to have this report in a Boston newspaper, and perhaps only to be found in a Boston newspaper.
Complete in 14 pages, rejoined at the spine, slightly irregular at the spine from disbinding, but generally nice for the era. Fragile, should be handled with care.
Note: Comes with a acid free folder for protection
